You know how you finish a bag of chips and you hate yourself? You know you’ve done nothing good for yourself. That’s the same feeling, and you know it is, after some digital binge. You feel wasted and hollow and diminished.

She felt some measure of relief knowing that in the very least, on the open road she would have some time to think.
Dave Eggers

I am a bike enthusiast there's a certain amount of romance to bikes. They're both beautiful and utilitarian.
Dave Eggers
Image
He must trust, and he must have faith. And so he builds, because what is building, and rebuilding and rebuilding again, but an act of faith?
Dave Eggers

Why do we pursue information that we know will never leave our heads?
Dave Eggers

Why shouldn’t your curiosity about the world be rewarded?
Dave Eggers

Morning comes like a scream through a pinhole.
Dave Eggers

But everyone disappears, no matter who loves them.
Dave Eggers
Image
Good artists exist in what they make, and consequently are perfectly uninteresting in what they are.
Dave Eggers
Image
I had forgotten that, and so many things. How could I put everything down on paper? It seemed impossible. No matter what, the majority of life would be left out of this story, this sliver of a version of the life I'd known. But I tried anyway.

The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us.
